Mostly we enjoy each other’s music–or at least tolerate it–although I admit to being unable to listen to Skrillex for more than 60 seconds at a time. The other day she came home from school. …
Inspiration Post #15: The Midwest I consider myself a West Coast person. I’ve lived on the West Coast of the US for about 75% of my life. I feel most at home here. If I could freely choose any part of the US to live, it would be somewhere in California, Oregon, or Washington. But …
